The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. PCI-DSS compliance is mandatory for organizations handling cardholder data, helping to protect against data breaches and fraud. Adhering to PCI-DSS involves implementing measures such as maintaining a secure network, protecting cardholder data, maintaining a vulnerability management program, implementing strong access control measures, regularly monitoring and testing networks, and maintaining an information security policy.
